Mosaic Roses

22x15 watercolor on 140 lb cold press paper, a fractured floral bouquet still life.  Individual rectangles were drawn on top of roses and vase then each one painted with different colors.  I used a silk bunch of roses to draw from life for the most part and the peace roses were my fresh ones.  This work is SOLD.

Balancing Act - vegetable still life

18x12 watercolor of two onions and a red bell pepper balancing on a sunflower mosaic vase I'd turned on its side.  They're resting on cut glass mosaic top of an old hospital stretcher in my studio.  At upper left is a portion of Talavera pottery holding plants.  I set up this still life last year then drew and painted it before the onions and pepper got too ripe sitting in the sunny south window.  This is dry brush on Strathmore 140 lb cold press paper.
